Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Expert Fertility Care
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely used fertility treatment designed to increase the chances of pregnancy for couples facing challenges with conception. At Sai Shubha Multispeciality Hospital, Dr. Sarika, a specialist in infertility, offers expert care and guidance through the IUI process, providing hope and support to those on their fertility journey.
IUI is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation, thus increasing the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg. This method bypasses many of the natural barriers that sperm encounter in the reproductive tract, offering enhanced chances of fertilization. IUI is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or women with issues such as cervical mucus problems or ovulation irregularities.
Before starting the IUI process, Dr. Sarika conducts a thorough evaluation to determine if IUI is the right treatment option. This includes assessing the health of the fallopian tubes, ovulation cycle, and sperm quality. The treatment is timed with the patient’s ovulation, which may involve fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries.
The actual IUI procedure is simple and takes only a few minutes. After preparing the sperm sample to ensure optimal quality, it is inserted into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is generally painless and does not require anesthesia.
Following the IUI, patients can resume normal activities. Dr. Sarika closely monitors the patient’s progress and provides follow-up care to evaluate the outcome of the treatment. If successful, pregnancy will occur within two weeks of the procedure.
Dr. Sarika’s expertise and compassionate approach make IUI a viable option for many couples looking to conceive, offering hope and personalized care throughout the fertility journey.
